Not Constaninople

The first of the photographs. I'll put them up port by port as I go through them, which is going to take a while. I have a callous on my shutter finger and permanent squint in my left eye.

I shot about 2,000 frames. A lot of them are just tourist shots–you know, where you take a picture of a thing because it's in front of you and you want to remember you where there. I'd rather not bore you (and me) with that kind of thing. You want to see a shot of the dome of the Blue Mosque, Google it. Instead, I'm going to put up the photographs I like best from each place we went.

That doesn't mean they're good. It just means I like them best.

A belated welcome home, Franklin, and thanks so much for sharing these photos. The oil lamps with the globes twisting different ways, the night shots, the doorways, the self-portrait - wonderful viewing!Sherri

It would be odd if those had been pretzels -- a book I have recounts the legend that Viennese pretzel bakers in the 16th century working at night heard the Turks tunneling under the walls and raised the alarm. :)

They are all so beautiful! My favorite is the Court of the Eunuchs (ow), the Harem, Topkapi Palace. Love the texture, colors and perspective. And the kitty. I like that one too. Thanks for sharing. I love that the travelogue continues!

What an inspirational picture from the lamps in the bazaar, and maybe great to use it for a knitting design. Must be nice to have a scarve in the colours and with desing-shapes of the lamps.And it is lovely to read your blog here in Holland almost everyday
